Yeah pretty much @Zoe7 Ready to that’s for sure. Not working anymore. Actually worked it out I get $40 a week that’s it for travelling an hour so petrol it’s like $40 every two weeks lol

[Zoe7]

You have definitely made the right decision then @Former-Member I really hope you can start fresh in a new place. Are you still going to do your course next year?

[Former-Member]

Me too regarding house @Zoe7 yeah definately, How are you going?

[Zoe7]

I am ok @Former-Member Have an appointment tomorrow with the psychologist that takes DBT I am doing - it is an extra appointment as my pdoc and GP are away for 3 weeks. I am a bit nervous about it but I know her a little already and that helps.

When I was seeing my own we never went through that @Zoe7 not yet anyway I still have 17 sessions I think. It’s good you know her a bit. Last few days I’ve felt pretty deflated have cried a bit at church and have lashed out when triggered again can’t remember most of it to be honest

[Zoe7]

Sounds like a tough few days @Former-Member - I hope knowing that you are going to move helps you face things now. You need a fresh start Hon so glad you have made that decision 

[Former-Member]

Well facing & dealing with everything already last few years but yeah hoping I feel better @Zoe7 hoping I honestly survive it

[Zoe7]

Lean on us here when you need to Hon - we are sitting with you @Former-Member You can talk through what you need to and get the support you need Hon. You can do this - you have taken the first step in making the decision to move and that is huge. You have the strength to get through this - that I believe 

[Former-Member]

Everyone keeps saying that to me at church as well but I feel humiliated & numb with it all @Zoe7 just feel like a lost soul in the world everywhere we go with everyone, not the same person anymore

[Zoe7]

Slowly, slowly you can begin to re-build yourself Hon - and it is not a weakness to let people in and to help you with that - that is something I am learning too @Former-Member

I need to head to bed - have a big day tomorrow. I will check in with you tomorrow night. Hope you sleep well Hon - goodnight
